The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Tour Through Eastern Counties of England by Daniel Defoe: way; it is enough that we write upon them, as was written upon King

on that side of the forest, for there are several very good houses
at Wanstead, only that they seem all swallowed up in the lustre of

the great road over that part of the forest called the Flats, where
we see a very beautiful but retired and rural seat of Mr.
Lethulier's, eldest son of the late Sir John Lethulier, of Lusum,
in Kent, of whose family I shall speak when I come on that side.
